|
Melbicks was opened in 2002 and it is definitely
has a very modern looking exterior.
It is a large garden centre and has a full range of plants, garden
accessories and other goods for sale. |
This is a totally independent GardenAction review of
Melbicks Garden Centre in the Birmingham area.
Melbicks garden centre is extremely large but finding
your way round was no problem. Large overhead signs lead you clearly to
all their departments.
PLANTS
| The outdoor plant area was attractively designed and
well kept with no plant debris lying around. The plants looked
healthy, well watered and in correct pot sizes. |
 |
 |
The range of plants was good although not as large
as we would expect from a garden centre of this size. All the
normal plants were there and well signed. The range of fruit trees
was good as the picture on the left illustrates. |
| All hardy plants came with a five year guarantee. There was no
outdoor help centre but there was a help desk at the entrance to
garden centre.
The website has an online shop but this does include any plants.
The range of pots for sale was massive and there was an excellent
of greenhouses, conservatories and sheds on display |
